RubinBrown Gaming Stats 2011

Adjusted Gross Receipts by Region

The Blue Chip Casino and Resort, which opened in 2009, saw 30% of its potential revenue siphoned off by the Four Winds Casino located in New Buffalo, Michigan. The Blue Chip also faces increased competition over existing revenues from both the Michigan based Firekeepers and Gun Lakes tribal casinos. If granted licenses, new casinos in both Gary and Fort Wayne, Indiana could significantly decrease revenues to neighboring commercial gaming properties in Indiana, but net tax revenue would likely increase for the state. Indiana may be better able to compete with out-of-state gaming facilities if riverboats were allowed to convert to land based gaming operations. If riverboat casinos were allowed to convert to land based operations, the commission concluded that these casinos should be required to maintain operations within the same municipality in which they currently reside.
